About

I’m Vilay, a graduate of The University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Management, where I was awarded the Outstanding International Student scholarship. Over the past few years, I’ve built a diverse skill set, blending leadership, strategic thinking, and a passion for innovation. Currently, I’m focused on product development, with a growing interest in UI/UX design. I aim to create meaningful, user-centric experiences and leverage my marketing expertise to drive business growth. As one of India’s top 36 fastest racing drivers in the Indian Racing League’s national karting hunt, I’ve developed a competitive mindset and a keen sense of precision, both of which I bring into my professional endeavors. I’m driven by the potential of technology to make a positive impact, and I’m always seeking opportunities to learn, collaborate, and contribute—particularly in the fields of marketing and design.
